Spring has sprung and we are busy here at East Morgan County Library. In addition to our regularly scheduled activities, check out what is happening in April at EMCL. During the week of April 14–20, we will celebrate National Library Week. First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April, celebrating contributions of our nation’s libraries and librarians to promote library use and support. Stop in during the week and find out what we are doing at the library. This isn’t your Grandma’s library anymore!April 21-27, we will join forces with area businesses to promote Money Smart Week. Money Smart Week was developed by the American Library Association and Federal Reserve Bank to promote personal financial literacy. Libraries from across the state and nation are promoting Money Smart Week in ways that benefit their own community. To see what is available, check out the website www.moneysmartweek.org. You will find resources and events planned across the state. In our own community, we have planned the following programs. On Monday and Tuesday, the City of Brush Utilities will give a presentation demonstrating on-line bill paying. If you have always wondered how to pay that utility bill on-line, now is the time. No stamps, no car, no gas.
